UPDATE #2

HELLO! *squeezes!* i missed you guys sooo much!! I have sooo much to tell you too!!

Okay so last week my mom surprised me with a trip to New Orleans & a pass to ALA!! i literally was in tears, i was so excited! It was the best birthday present EVER!! eeeeep! My mommy is da best!! 

Anyway i canNOT even describe to you the amazingness that was ALA. Where do i even begin!? I honestly was so scared to go! i was flippin' out the whole time i was driving to the convention center on Friday night! I thought i was either going to puke or poop my pants (Jena can attest to this!)

the convention center!--->

I have no idea why i was nervous, i ended up having the time of my life! Everyone was so nice & it was great to meet other bloggers & publishing contacts! 

OMG you guys, i LOVE.... no, no, no i am IN LOVE with HarperTeen. They have THE MOST FLABBERGASTINGLY INCREDIBLE BOOKS & covers & people who work there, that i was in awe! Harper was by FAR my favorite booth to stop at! I would just browse around and fan girl with the ladies workin' at there! GAH! they are awesome, awesome, awesome! 

There is no other way to describe ALA, it was like Halloween but instead of candy you got books! & posters & bags & pins & pens & temp tattoos & MY HEART WAS EXPLODING WITH JOY THE WHOLE TIME! i would definitely recommend going at some point in your existence! 

The first day alone i picked up about 40 books! In 2 hours! it was EPIC MADNESS! By the last day i was so sad to leave because i had a blast each and every day! Here are all the books i got!

I think i counted that i got 87 different titles!! HOLY POOP! i am set for the rest of the year!! Dudes, don't you even worry, i also got TONS of extra copies too! Off the top of my head i know i have an extra copy of Shut Out,The Faerie Ring, Crossed, Vanish, Sweet Venom, Carrier of the Mark & The Power of Six & those are just off the top of my head!! So be on the look out for tons of giveaways!!!
